mYOOtics Free Research Question Coach

For the social & behavioral sciences

Develop a research question worth investigating

mYOOtics is named for maieutics (may‑OO‑tics) — the Socratic art of the midwife: you don't hand someone an idea, you help them give birth to their own. This coach works the same way: it questions your framing and helps you surface your own research question — its puzzle, the tension it resolves, the contribution it makes — but it never writes it for you.

Bring an existing proposal to refine, or start from a vague idea. There's no time limit — pause and come back anytime, with a built‑in literature check on the leading journals. At the end you get a clean summary of your sharpened question.
